Energy Transformation Flashcards
1
Q
What is exothermic reaction?
A
aka catabolic reactions
2
Q
What is endothermic reaction?
A
aka anabolic reaction.
3
Q
What is the free energy of hydrolysis of ATP?
A
-7300
4
Q
What is the transfer of chemical energy from donor molecure (often through ATP) to a receptor molecule?
A
coupled reaction
5
Q
In what two ways is ATP formed?
A
Substrate Level phosphorylation &
Oxidative phosphorylation
6
Q
What happens when oxidation and phosphorylation doesn’t happen together, and results in the inability to produce ATP and energy is lost as heat?
A
uncoupling
7
Q
In what reaction is energy given off and delta G is -?
A
exothermic reaction
8
Q
What reaction requires energy to be put into a system, with delta G as a positive?
A
Endothermic reactions
